Man accused of having fake pot in Richwood Correctional

A man already incarcerated has been accused of bringing contraband into a penal institution.

A complaint was issued Thursday at the Richwood Correctional Center. During what was described in an arrest report as a routine shakedown of Ziggy Ray Jack, 2530 Poe St., Mamou, he was found to have a "bag of a green leafy substance known as synthetic marijuana."

Jack, 23, refused to make a statement. He was arrested and taken to Ouachita Correctional Center.
